CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #A1
DATE: May 28, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Elise McCaleb, Community Development Director
RECOMMENDATION:

Continue Public Hearing until June 25, 2025.

SUMMARY
The City of Hawaiian Gardens is eligible to receive an Year 5, Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) award through the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA). The funds stem from Senate Bill 2 (2017), known as the Building Homes and Jobs Act, which established the PLHA and instituted a $75 recording fee on real estate transactions. The goal of the legislation is to provide a permanent source of funding to cities and counties to help meet the unmet need for affordable housing and increase the supply of affordable housing units. The funds may be used for a variety of activities, including acquisition, construction/rehabilitation, and operations of permanent and transitional housing, as well as rapid rehousing, rental assistance, and supportive services. The LACDA has allocated $60,669 for Hawaiian Gardens.

DISCUSSION
Staff is proposing to use the funds to pay for shelter beds. The City would be reserving up to two shelter beds for one year at the Bell Shelter that is run by The Salvation Army in Bell. The beds would be reserved as “Crisis/Bridge Housing Beds” for single adults +18 years and older. The following description outlines the process for someone living at the shelter:

Participants may stay for an initial period of ninety (90) days, which may be extended on a monthly basis provided the participant is actively working on a housing plan with his/her case manager. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter has the right not to extend the stay of any participants beyond any 30-day period or extension if the individual is not actively working with his/her case manager on a housing plan. In addition, The Salvation Army Bell Shelter has the right to terminate services for any participant according to the Agenda Item #A1
May 14, 2025

shelter's established Termination Policy. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter will provide at least three (3) referrals to other programs for any participant who is terminated or whose stay is not extended.

The beds reserved by the Collaborator are classified as Crisis or Bridge Housing beds; as such they are operated with a low barrier/low demand, trauma-informed program design. This means participants do not have to commit to sobriety or adherence to medications for health or mental health conditions. Some beds will be available in a sober living environment in a separate building for participants who choose a sober living environment.

However, the Salvation Army Bell Shelter reserves the right to assess all individuals referred by the Collaborator and to deny entry to any individuals who pose a safety threat, require a higher level of care, cannot be documented as "homeless", have a history of arson, or are registered sex offenders.

The services provided include three (3) hot meals daily, evening snack, bed linens/towels, hygiene supplies, access to laundry facilities, access to indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities, and social/holiday events. Comprehensive supportive services include, but are not limited to:
• Intake Processing - including working collaboratively with the City’s Homelessness Coordinator or designated representatives. • Outreach Coordination with designated representatives of the City of Hawaiian Gardens
• Program Orientation
• Comprehensive Needs Assessment - psychosocial assessment focusing on identification of strengths and areas of growth, which is used as a basis to inform the development of an individualized case plan.
• Individualized Case Management with development of an Individualized Service Plan including a Housing Plan.
• Referrals to Health Care/Mental Health Services- currently, health care, including COVID-19 vaccination and testing, primary care and referrals, TB testing, etc. is provided on-site by JWCH Institute.
• Substance Abuse Supports- including referrals to outpatient treatment programs.
• AA/NA/CA groups, and referrals to on-site residential treatment programs. • Life Skills Classes- including household budgeting, anger management, coping skills, landlord/tenant issues, conflict resolution.

Agenda Item #A1
May 14, 2025

• Employment support and job referrals
• Transportation Assistance- including, when staffing allows, pick-up of individuals for intake who are referred by the City of Hawaiian Gardens or its subcontractors; as well as van transportation, bus passes, and taxi vouchers, according to participant needs and availability.
• Benefits Advocacy- including SSI/SSDI, food stamps, Medi-Cal, housing vouchers, etc.
• Documentation Preparation Assistance- including helping participants obtain ID/driver's license, birth certificates, verification of income and/or homelessness
• Permanent Housing Placement Assistance - including assistance with identifying housing opportunities, assisting clients identify voucher and other housing assistance programs, and assisting with landlord negotiations.

FISCAL IMPACT
Shelter beds will be paid using the PLHA funds on a reimbursement basis.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #B5
DATE: May 28, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Neema Ghanbari, Public Works Manager
Ramie L. Torres, Administrative Technician
RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A

COOPERATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH OCEAN BLUE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC. TO PROVIDE ON-CALL AND EMERGENCY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMOVAL SERVICES.

SUMMARY
The Los Angeles County Haz-mat Guidelines require that first responders, clean-up personnel, and transporters be certified by regulatory agencies to engage in disposal and clean-up operations. To maintain regulatory compliance the city must have an agreement in place for on-call and emergency services, including certified emergency response to hazardous waste spills; submission of detailed manifests including final disposal; and the removal/disposal of the city workload generated waste including paint aerosol cans, oil, chemicals, and fluorescent/LED lights.

The city’s current agreement for on-call hazardous materials services with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. (Ocean Blue) is set to expire, and a new agreement must be sourced. One method to facilitate this process is the use of a cooperative agreement which, in Section 3.12 of the H.G.M.C. and Section II. of the purchasing policy is allowed when the administering agency has made its purchase in a competitive manner.

On April 13, 2023, the City of Pasadena posted a Request for Proposal (RFP) in OpenGov for the Hazardous Waste Management and Emergency Responses and transmitted to 2,839 vendors, including 43 local businesses.

Agenda Item #B5

On May 22, 2023, four (4) responsive proposals were received by the submission deadline and were independently evaluated by three Power Supply Business Unit staff.

The outcome of the evaluation is provided as follows:

Rank Bidder Location Score
1 Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. Long Beach, CA 93.3 2 Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. Compton, CA 83.2 3 US Ecology/ NRC Environmental Services, Inc. Long Beach, CA 80.5 4 HCI Environmental & Engineering Corona, CA 65.7
Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. met all the requirements outlined in the RFP and received the highest evaluation score based on its capabilities, relevant experience, and proposed costs. As a result, the company is recommended for award of the threeyear contract.

The City of Pasadena's agreement with Ocean Blue is current and available for use as a cooperative purchasing agreement. Consistent with the terms of the Pasadena agreement, the recommended contract will have an initial three-year term, with the option to extend for two additional one-year periods.

FISCAL IMPACT
None. Sufficient funds are appropriated in the Public Works Department’s Contract Services account to cover emergency hazardous material removal services on an asneeded basis.

If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from the CONTRACTOR’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by the CONTRACTOR or by its employees, subcontractors, or subcontractors. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-peroccurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONTRACTOR will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONTRACTOR for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

Page 5 of 10 ends

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by the CITY.

C. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY. At the CITY’s option, the CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. The CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to the CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of the CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which the CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONTRACTOR as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONTRACTOR’s behalf upon the CONTRACTOR’s failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONTRACTOR for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

USE OF OTHER CONTRACTORS. CONTRACTOR must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any sub-contractors while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONTRACTOR and the terms of compensation.

FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of the CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONTRACTOR for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONTRACTOR’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of the CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by the CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of the CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-contractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided

Page 6 of 10 ends

and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by the CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by the CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-contractors and agents.

CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONTRACTOR shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during the CITY’s review of the CONTRACTOR’s report or plans. Should the CONTRACTOR fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by the CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the CONTRACTOR. In addition to all other available remedies, the CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by the CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONTRACTOR under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONTRACTOR by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONTRACTOR’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONTRACTOR’S services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

DISCLOSURE REQUIRED. (CITY and CONTRACTOR initials required at one of the following paragraphs)
By their respective initials next to this paragraph, CITY and CONTRACTOR hereby acknowledge that CONTRACTOR is a “CONTRACTOR” for the purposes of the California Political Reform Act because CONTRACTOR’s duties would require him or her to make one or more of the governmental decisions set forth in Fair Political Practices Commission Regulation 18700.3(a) or otherwise serves in a staff capacity for which disclosure would otherwise be required were CONTRACTOR employed by the CITY. CONTRACTOR hereby acknowledges his or her assuming-office, annual, and leaving-office financial reporting obligations under the California Political Reform Act and the CITY’s Conflict of Interest Code and agrees to comply with those obligations at his or her expense. Prior to CONTRACTOR commencing services hereunder, the City’s Manager shall prepare and deliver to CONTRACTOR a memorandum detailing the extent of CONTRACTOR’s disclosure obligations in accordance with the CITY’s Conflict of Interest Code. 36 LABOR COMPLIANCE. As used herein, “Project” is synonymous with services described in this Agreement.

36.1 Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., and 1770 et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Since the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract upon request. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. Contractor and any subcontractor shall forfeit a penalty of up to $200 per calendar day or portion thereof for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates.

36.2 Apprenticeable Crafts. When Contractor employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade, Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works. The primary responsibility for compliance with said section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Contractor. The Contractor or any subcontractor that is determined by the Labor Commissioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater amount as provided by law.

36.3 Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Pursuant to Section 1813 of the California Labor Code,Contractorshall forfeit a penalty of $25.00 per worker for each day that each worker is permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one-half (1- 1/2) times the basic rate for that worker.

36.4 Payroll Records. Contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime

Page 9 of 10 ends

hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractorshall have 10 daysin which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section. Should noncompliance still be evident after such 10-day period, Contractor shall, as a penalty to City, forfeit not more than $100.00 for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. The amount of the forfeiture is to be determined by the Labor Commissioner. A contractor who is found to have violated the provisions of law regarding wages on Public Works with the intent to defraud shall be ineligible to bid on Public Works contracts for a period of one to three years as determined by the Labor Commissioner. Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this section is on Contractor. The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.

36.5 Contractor and Subcontractor Registration. Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform public work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. No bid will be accepted nor any contract entered into without proof of the contractor’s and subcontractors’ current registration with the Department of Industrial Relations to perform public work. Contractor is directed to review, fill out and execute the Public Works Contractor Registration Certification attached hereto as Exhibit “E” prior to contract execution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1.

36.6 Labor Compliance; Stop Orders. This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be the Contractor’s sole responsibility to evaluate and pay the cost of complying with all labor compliance requirements under this Contract and applicable law.

Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Work, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Contractor caused delay subject to any applicable liquidated damages and shall not be compensable by the City. Contractorshall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmlessfrom any claim orliability arising out ofstop ordersissued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor.

RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH COMMERCIAL AQUATIC SERVICES, INC. (HASA) FOR

SPLASHPAD MAINTENANCE, CHEMICAL BALANCE, AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES

SUMMARY
The Clarkdale Park Splashpad contains a specialized system with UV filtration and treatment as required by the health department. The related operating system and components require maintenance beyond standard pool care, and the need for a company that focuses on these types of systems is warranted.

In order to facilitate the required maintenance of the splashpad, staff contacted several specialized companies that currently provide similar services for other agencies and requested quotes for annual seasonal maintenance. Below are the results of the quotes received from four (4) vendors:
1- Commercial Aquatic Services (HASA) $6,480
2- California Waters $11,200
3- Aquatic Service, Inc. $11,200
4- Knorr System Int (KSI) $32,832
All proposals received were non-inclusive of associated chemical costs or unforeseen repairs. After a thorough evaluation of all proposals by the Public Works staff, Commercial Aquatic Services (HASA) ranked the highest score among all the participants with a Agenda Item #B6
May 28, 2025

Page 2 ends

proposal amount of $6,480 for the Clarkdale park splashpad annual seasonal maintenance. The HASA cost for off-season maintenance is $235 per month.

Staff is recommending the approval of an agreement with Commercial Aquatic Services (HASA), the lowest responsive bidder, for a three (3)-year term, with the option of two (2) one-year extensions.

FISCAL IMPACT
None. Sufficient funds are appropriated in the Public Works Department’s Contract Services account to cover the routine maintenance costs for the Clarkdale Splash Pad Park.

DATE: May 28, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Linda Hollinsworth, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 009-2025, APPROVING THE

PRELIMINARY ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR CONSOLIDATED LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. HG-LLA1 AND DECLARING THE CITY COUNCIL’S INTENT TO LEVY AN ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026, AND

SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED LEVY AT THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 25, 2025

SUMMARY
The Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. HGLLA1 was transferred from the County to the City on July 1, 1995. In accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, an annual engineer’s report has been prepared, and is ready for City Council approval. Upon approval, the City Council needs to declare their intention to levy the assessments as specified in the engineer’s report and set a public hearing for the regular City Council meeting of June 25, 2025.

The City of Hawaiian Gardens funds the utilities for the maintenance of lighting and landscaping through an assessment on all properties in the City-wide Assessment District. The Lighting and Landscaping Assessment District (LLAD) has been in existence for many years and was administered by Los Angeles County prior to the City’s assumption of responsibility in 1995.

Each year the City Council must set the assessment and submit the tax roll to the County Tax Collector prior to August 10th of each year. The attached preliminary Engineer's Report presents the basis for setting the assessment, the amount of the proposed assessment for each property, and a summary of the services to be supported by the Agenda Item #B9
May 28, 2025

assessment. The Engineer’s Report proposes to maintain the previous year’s assessment without increase. As such, under Proposition 218 the City is allowed to impose this assessment without a vote of the public to confirm the assessment.

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, codified in Streets and Highways Code, provides the procedures that need to be followed in the annual levy of assessments. Upon completion of the Engineer’s Report, the City Council needs to approve the report, either as presented, or as modified by the City Council. Upon approval of the report, the City Council then needs to adopt a resolution of intent to levy and collect assessments and set a public hearing on the matter.

FISCAL IMPACT
The revenue from the assessment will be $110,085, with expenses estimated to be $485,000. The deficit between the total expenses and revenue from the assessment will be subsidized by the General Fund or the Gas Tax. In order to decrease the deficit between revenue and expenses, the City can go out to ballot the District to attempt to increase the assessment rate. A possible increase to the Maximum Assessment Rate in place can be done through Majority Protest Ballot Proceedings, which is a requirement of Proposition 218. The Majority Protest proceedings will pass if there is a weighted 50% of returned ballots by property owners in favor of the maximum increase. If the ballot proceeding fails the current maximum assessment rate will stay in place.

SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve Recommendation.

I. INTRODUCTION
This Annual Engineer’s Report (“Report”) is prepared pursuant to the City of Hawaiian Gardens (“City”) Council action taken at their regular meeting ordering a report for the levy of assessments for the Fiscal Year commencing July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026 (Fiscal Year 2025/2026).

This report is prepared in recognition of the requirements of Article XIIID of the California Constitution (“Article XIIID”), and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“1972 Act”), being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

This Assessment District, by special benefit assessments, will provide funding for street improvements within the City of Hawaiian Gardens public right-of-way. The items funded by the District are exempt from the procedural and approval requirements set forth in Section 5(a) of Article XIIID that states:
...assessments existing on the effective date of this Article shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4 [if they were] imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control.

As discussed herein, the improvements funded by the Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 are pre-existing and the assessments are used to fund the maintenance and operation expenses for street improvements. Furthermore, the assessment rates for the District have not increased since prior to July 1, 1997. Therefore, the District assessments are exempt from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID provided the assessments are not increased above the rates and method established prior to July 1, 1997.

This Report presents the engineering analysis for the 2025/2026 Fiscal Year for the Assessment District known as the Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. HG-LLA1 ("District").

This District, by special benefit assessments, provides funding, on a Citywide basis, for the installation, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights and traffic signals (including the maintenance of appurtenant horizontal and vertical surfaces); the installation, maintenance and servicing of landscaped areas (parkways, medians, etc.) and the removal or covering of graffiti; all of which are located in the public street right-of-way, which is further defined as one or any combination of the following:

1. Any public street, highway, road, alley, lane, boulevard, parkway, or other way dedicated to or used for public use.

2. Any public property, right-of-way, or leasehold interest which is in use in the performance of a public function, and which adjoins any of the ways described in Item 1 above.

Section 22573 of the 1972 Act, requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. The section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
2025/2026 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 2
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]."
The 1972 Act also provides for the classification of various areas within an assessment district into different zones where,
"by reason of variations in the nature, location and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements." A. BACKGROUND
The District was originally formed by the Los Angeles County (“County”) Board of Supervisors as County Lighting Maintenance District Number CLMD 10034, which assessed an ad valorem charge exclusively used for street lighting. In response to Proposition 13, on July 24, 1979, the County formed the County Lighting District LLA-1 throughout the County, including a Zone for the City using the Streets and Highways Code provisions for Landscaping and Lighting district benefit assessments. County Lighting District LLA-1 was consolidated with the ad valorem County Lighting Maintenance District Number CLMD 10034 to provide full funding for street lighting maintenance by joint resolution of the Hawaiian Gardens City Council and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

The ad valorem tax revenue contribution represents the amount of general fund monies the City anticipates it will contribute toward the District’s expenses for Fiscal Year 2025/2026. This contribution is adjusted annually based on Ad Valorem tax revenues necessary to fund that portion of the District improvements not funded by the District assessments.

In an effort to gain control of the responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the street lighting system and its funding, the City Council of the City of Hawaiian Gardens initiated proceedings to transfer the authority of the Consolidated District LLA-1 and CLMD 10034 from County to City control. Jurisdiction was transferred by joint resolution of the City and the County as of July 1, 1995. At the same time, the districts were re-designated as the Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. HG-LLA1. The new Consolidated District No.

HG-LLA1 was expanded to include the funding of other improvements authorized under the 1972 Act. Prior to the transfer, the County of Los Angeles administered each year's levy and collection.

Since July 1, 1995, the City has administered the annual levy and collection.

On March 12, 1996, the City Council, as the property owner of property located at 21815 Pioneer Boulevard (Los Angeles County Assessor's Parcels Number 7075-001-914, 915 and 916), requested said property be annexed into the District, and further declared their written consent and waiver of annexation hearings, notices and protest proceedings for the annexation, as allowed in Streets and Highways Code Section 22608.

II. BOUNDARIES OF DISTRICT
The boundary of the District is within the City limits of the City of Hawaiian Gardens and is shown on the Assessment Diagram that is on file at City Hall with the City Clerk of the City of Hawaiian Gardens and by reference is made part of this report (On file in the office of the City Clerk at the City Hall of Hawaiian Gardens as Exhibit "A").

VI.METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. INTRODUCTION
In November 1996 voters of the State of California passed Proposition 218, which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution requiring new procedures for assessments.

Specifically, as it relates to this District, Article XIIID requires that assessments comply with stated provisions by July 1, 1997, unless an assessment district meets certain exemptions. The exemptions from the procedural and approval requirements are set forth in Section 5 of the Article and include the following:
"(a) any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control.”
The District assessments qualify for the exemption as the improvements financed by the assessments are considered exempt under provision (a) quoted above, specifically, "street" improvements.

Street Improvement is defined based on the definitions provided by the Office of the Controller for the State of California in the Guidelines Relating to Gas Tax Expenditures published by the Division of Local Government Fiscal Affairs. The state’s gas tax program is administered in city agencies, but audited by the Office of the State Controller. The proceeds of the gas tax are statutorily limited to expenditures for streets and roads. Because the funds are restricted to street and road costs, the State Controller has developed “Street Purpose Definitions and Guidelines” based on the Manual of Uniform Highway Accounting and Financial Management Procedures developed by the American Association of State Highway Officials. Street improvement is defined as the construction, operation, or maintenance of facilities within the right of way used for street or road purposes including but not limited to the following:
• Installation or expansion of the street lighting system including replacement of old equipment with superior equipment, installation of traffic signals at intersections and railroad crossings, replacement of equipment as required for relocations for street purposes, and purchase and installation of traffic signal control equipment. • Installation or expansion of fences; raised medians or barriers for traffic safety; installation or addition to landscape treatment such as sod, shrubs, trees, irrigation, etc.; installation or extension of curb, gutter, or sidewalks; and replacement of retaining walls to a higher standard.
• Servicing lighting systems and street or road traffic control devices including, repainting and repairing traffic signals and lighting standards; and furnishing of power for street and road lighting and traffic control devices.
• Mowing, tree trimming and watering within the street right of way; replacing top soil, sod, shrubs, trees, irrigation facilities, etc. on the street and roadside; reseeding, re-sodding, and repairing of shoulders and approaches; reshaping or restoration of drainage channels and side slopes; cleaning or repairing of culverts and drains, or curb and gutter. 2025/2026 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 7
The 1972 Act indicates that assessments may be apportioned by any formula or method, which fairly distributes costs among all lots or parcels within the district in proportion to the estimated benefits received.

B. STREET LIGHTING
The primary benefits of street lighting are for the convenience, safety and protection of people and, to a lesser extent, the security or protection of property, property improvements and goods.

The intensity or degree of illumination provided can have a bearing on both.

People Related Benefits (People Use)

1. Reduction in night accidents and attendant human misery and decrease in personal and property loss.

2. Less vulnerability to criminal assault at night.

3. Promotion of business during nighttime hours.

4. Increased facility of use of roads and highways.

5. Inspiration for community spirit and growth.

Security or Property Protection (Security Benefit)

1. Reduction in vandalism and other criminal acts, and damage to improvements.

2. Reduction in burglaries.

Intensity
Intensity or degree of illumination, provided on streets in the District varies with the type of street and the use of the property adjacent thereto. The following table from the Illuminating Engineering Society Handbook was used as a guide for the installation of the majority of the District lighting systems. The cost of providing the highest recommended degree of illumination (used in commercial areas) is about four times the cost of providing the intensity recommended for the lowest category that includes residential properties.

Based on land use information provided by the Los Angeles County Assessor, it has been determined that the primary land use in the City of Hawaiian Gardens is single family residential.

In view of this and the benefits derived by the family unit, both at and in the proximity of their property, a value of one has been assigned to the basic family unit, i.e., the single-family home 2025/2026 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 8
or condominium. The District includes some properties that may not actually have streetlights on their block but which do receive a neighborhood benefit from the lights in the area. Based on engineering evaluation of the factors involved and a strong indication that lighting benefits are largely people related, a value of ½ unit was given to "People Use" while "Intensity" and "Security Benefit" were each rated at ¼ of a unit to form the basic unit. Parcels in other land use categories were then rated by comparison with the basic unit.

In the remainder of the residential category, which is comprised of multiple rental type properties, the value for Intensity would remain at ¼ of a unit, but the other two items would increase in proportion to the number of family dwelling units on the parcel. For example, a duplex was assigned ¼ of a unit for Intensity, 1 unit for People Use, and ½ of a unit for Security Benefit for a total of 1¾ units. The owner of such property would therefore pay 1¾ times as much for lighting as the owner of a single-family residence. In consideration of the distance some units would be from the lighted roadway, Security Benefits in the residential category would not be increased beyond a value of 1 unit. Thus a 5-unit apartment would be assigned ¼ of a unit for Intensity, 2½ units for People Use, and 1 unit for Security Benefits or a total of 3¾ units. As the number of apartments on a parcel increases, the service charge units assigned for people would follow a declining scale as follows:
21 through 50 Apartments
Units for 20 apartments plus ⅓ of a unit for each apartment over 20 (20 apartments = ¼ for Intensity, 10 for People and 1 for Security = 11¼ units).

Example: 50 apartments; (50 - 20)  3 = 10; 11¼ + 10 = 21¼ units. 51 through 100 Apartments
Units for 50 apartments plus ¼ of a unit for each apartment over 50 Example: 100 apartments; (100 - 50)  4 = 12½; 21¼ + 12½ = 33¾ units.

Over 100 Apartments
Units for 100 apartments plus 1/5 of a unit for each apartment over 100 Example: 200 apartments; (200 - 100)  5 = 20; 33¾ + 20 = 53¾.

The remaining 7 percent of the lots or parcels (County-wide as of 1979) were separated into 48 land use categories as determined by the County Assessor and units were assigned on the basis of average benefits received as follows:

Group K
It was determined that properties within the 11 land use categories in this group (which represent less than 1/3 of one percent of the total lots or parcels within the districts, county-wide as of 1979) varied widely from the norm and therefore these lots or parcels were considered on an individual basis. Each of the parcels or lots in these land use categories was identified on the official lighting district maps and each streetlight or portion thereof in the immediate proximity of the lots or parcels benefiting the lots or parcels was assigned a number of units as indicated below. The total number of units so determined for that category would be distributed among the lots or parcels in that category in proportion to the lot or parcel area as shown below. A minimum of 3 units would be assessed to each lot or parcel to be compatible with Group D that contains many of the smaller business categories. Several huge lots or parcels in outlying areas within the existing lighting districts have no lights in the immediate proximity and therefore those lots or parcels would be assessed the minimum.

3. Regional Shopping Centers 0.021812 Units per 100 sq. feet 2025/2026 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 12
Determining the Cost per Lot or Parcel
Using the aforementioned procedures, the sum of the total number of units applicable to all of the lots or parcels in the City would be determined (Total Units). The net amount to be raised by assessment (Net Assessment) is then allocated to each parcel in the District based on their assigned units per parcel. The cost to be assessed per unit (Unit Cost) would be equal to the quotient of the Net Assessment divided by the Total Units. To determine a parcel's assessment, a property owner can multiply the Unit Cost by the number of units assigned to the parcel.

Since the benefits have been related to property use and property users, no charge is assessed to vacant lots within the District.

C. TRAFFIC SIGNALS
The primary benefits of traffic signal maintenance are as follows:

1. Safe, orderly movement of traffic as a result of properly spaced, timed and maintained traffic signals.

2. Reduced downtime caused by malfunctioning traffic signals.

3. Reduction in accidents and attendant human misery and decrease in personal and property loss.

4. Increased facility of use of roads and highways.

Traffic signals have many of the same elements of benefit, as well as similar maintenance and servicing requirements, as streetlights. In general, each traffic signal has relatively high intensity safety lighting at its intersection to facilitate safe driving and pedestrian movements.

Therefore, the method of apportionment for traffic signals is determined to be the same as for streetlights, as discussed above under "Street Lights." D. STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY LANDSCAPING
The primary benefits of street right-of-way landscaping are related to the improved quality of life landscaping provides to a community. The landscaping of right-of-way along streets specially benefits parcels within the District by improving the physical and visual environment and making the District area more desirable. Property desirability is increased when infrastructures including landscaped right-of-way are in place, safe, clean, and wellmaintained. Facilities that are unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism decrease the desirability of surrounding property.

The maintenance of street right-of-way landscaping improvements provides a special benefit to parcels within the District. The desirability of parcels within the District is enhanced by the presence of well-maintained medians and parkways. Having properly maintained landscaping within the District means the owners of the assessed parcels may enjoy the benefits of such improvements available for use while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements. Each parcel within the District is located within reasonable proximity to the assessed improvements, and therefore, benefits from the improvements provided.
2025/2026 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 13
The proper maintenance of street landscaping improves the aesthetics of parcels by reducing pollution and noise in surrounding areas through the provision of open space and the planting of otherwise barren areas, and reduces property-related crimes against properties within the District, especially vandalism, through the abatement of graffiti. All of the above contribute to a special benefit to each of the parcels assessed within the District.

The method of apportionment for street landscaping is almost exclusively "people" related with little, if any, benefit for "security," and it has no relationship to "lighting intensity". A review of the method of apportionment described in the "Street Lighting" section of this Report leads to the conclusion that only the "People Use" portion of the formula described therein should be used for apportionment of assessments for public landscaping, while discarding the "Security" and "Lighting Intensity" portions of the formula. The street landscaping formula will assign an assessment unit of ½ unit to a single-family residence, similar to the ½ unit People Use unit assigned in the Street Lighting formula. Three examples of the revision of the "Street Lighting" formula for assessing landscape maintenance are presented below.

Example 1
A 100-unit Apartment Complex
From the apartment formula in the "Street Lighting" section of this Report, the revised formula for assessing for public landscape maintenance would be calculated in steps utilizing ½ unit per apartment unit up through 20 apartment units.
1 through 20 Apartments (20 - 0) x ½ = 10
21 through 50 Apartments (50 - 20) x ⅓ = 10
51 through 100 Apartments (100 - 50) x ¼ = 12½
32½ Units
Example 2
Group D
From Group D in the "Street Lighting" section of this Report, the number of units for "People Use" is one (1). Therefore, lots or parcels with the land uses in Group D (office buildings, professional buildings, banks, service shops, lumber yards, etc.) shall be assessed one unit for public landscaping.

Example 3
Sub-group K-2: Wholesale and Manufacturing Outlets
From Sub-Group K-2 in the "Street Lighting" section of this Report, the "People Use" is 4 units.

Converting from the total of 6¼ units in Sub-Group K-2 to 4 units for "People Use" only is accomplished by dividing 4 units by 6¼ units to get a conversion factor of 0.64. Therefore, the units to be assessed for public landscaping for a parcel with a wholesale or manufacturing outlet land use are:

0.059858 x 0.64 = 0.038309 Units per 100 sq. feet of parcel area 2025/2026 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 14
E. GRAFFITI REMOVAL WITHIN STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY
The primary benefits of an active graffiti removal program are as set forth below:

1. Greater property desirability due to a clean, inviting environment for existing residences and businesses.

2. An increase in commercial/industrial activity when new businesses and their employees can be induced to locate in a graffiti-free Area.

3. A reduction in tagging activity when new tagging is immediately removed, thereby frustrating taggers.

4. An increased sense of safety when gang marking and tagging is not allowed to remain visible. Graffiti removal is a "People" intensive benefit, and the method of apportionment is identical to the formula described in the "Street Right-of-Way Landscaping" section of this Report.

F. INCIDENTAL COSTS
Incidental Costs, which are detailed in the "Financial Analysis" section of this Report, are added to each parcel’s assessment as a percentage of each parcel’s assessment for maintenance and servicing costs of improvements compared to the total of such maintenance and servicing costs pursuant to the 1972 Act.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #C1
DATE: May 28, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Neema Ghanbari, Public Works Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation to receive and file the update on the City of Hawaiian Gardens' submitted SCAG STBG grant, and to approve Willdan Engineering’s proposal in the amount of $100,160 for the provision of engineering design and federal grant administration services for the Citywide Surface Transportation Block Grant Project

SUMMARY
On February 3, 2024, Engineering division applied for federal funding related to the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement program (CMAQ) and Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) through the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The City requested $1.5 million from federal STBG funds with a required local City match of $194,555.

Projects submitted for this grant were evaluated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) for the Carbon Reduction Program, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program, and/or Surface Transportation Block Grant Program funding as part of the SCAG 2024 Nomination.

SCAG initially placed this funding request on its contingency list. However, following ongoing follow-ups and meetings with Metro, Caltrans, and the SCAG team, the City was informed by LA Metro on March 6, 2025, that immediate action was needed to pursue a new funding opportunity. This opportunity pertained to the 'Citywide Street Restriping, Speed Feedback, and Traffic Calming' project in Hawaiian Gardens, which had been submitted as part of the SCAG 2024 Nomination. As a result, the City is set to receive the full requested amount of $1.5 million.

The project will include pavement rehabilitation, concrete repairs, and striping improvements for the following three (3) arterial and collector street segments:
1- Norwalk Boulevard between Carson Street and 226th Street 2- Pioneer Boulevard between 221st Street and 226th Street 3- Juan Avenue between Carson Street and 214th Street
Agenda Item #C1
May 28, 2025

Page 2 ends

Based on the Caltrans and Metro requirements for this project, the STBG funds must be obligated in this current Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, and the project would need to be included in the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) database by March 12th. This is critical so that the STBG funds can be obligated by the September 30, 2025 deadline.

The project was added to the FTIP on March 6, 2025. As part of the federal requirements, NEPA clearance is also necessary for inclusion in the FTIP. Given the project scope and the tight timeline, the City anticipates that a Categorical Exclusion (CE) will be sufficient to meet NEPA requirements. Following the anticipated approval of FTIP Amendment #25-06 in June 2025, the City must submit the Request for Authorization (RFA) package to Caltrans by June 30, 2025, in order to obligate the federal funds before the September 30, 2025 deadline.

In order to expedite the process, the city requested proposal from City’s on-call engineering design and grant administration consultant to support the staff with preparing the required documents to meet the SCAG requirements before the provided deadline by SCAG, Metro and Caltrans.

For this reason, staff is recommending approval of Willdan Engineering’s proposal in the amount of $100,160 for the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E); Preliminary Environmental Study (PES); Right-of-Way (ROW) certification; and development of Request for Authorization (RFA) packages.

Staff anticipates construction to begin in approximately one year and will bring back the final plans and specifications for the City Council review and approval.

FISCAL IMPACT
The project funding is $1.5M from federal STBG funds with a required local City match of $194,555, which will come from local Measure M funds. This combination of funds will cover the construction phase of the proposed street improvement project.

The design phase cost is $100,160 and will come from the Engineering Division Contract Account Services account.

SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve Recommendation.
